Human are an advanced bio mech suit for bacteria. Human cells - 37 trillion (majority red blood cells). Bacteria in the human body - 38 trillion.
There is a non-zero chance that the human consciousness is the product of bacteria forming a mesh neural network that hijacks the human brain’s voluntary functions. It could explain why some people suffer emotional distress while under antibiotics (I get severe depression).
Here’s my out-there take on consciousness:
Picture a surface of incredibly high but stable energies, like the one on a pulsar. Now imagine that those energies manage to shake a fundamental consciousness field hard enough at a large enough scale, that virtual consciousness and anti-consciousness pairs constantly bubble in and out of existence.

Just playing with ideas.
